It's kinda interesting I must say. It took me a few seconds.

If it’s real and not photoshopped it could be cool. It would all depend on who did the work and how. You lose structural integrity when you cut the roof off, it would have to be built up elsewhere to compensate.
 
I saw a local guy do a similar thing to a nice 4 door 68 Satellite about 15 years ago. I don't know what finally happened to the car, but knowing him, I bet it didn't end well. Better check the unibody sub frames for some pretty beefy connectors....
 
It's been for sale for a while. Not a lot of coin for an interesting ride. Old timers would stare at stoplights for sure.
 
I don't have any issues with mine,but it is a factory convertible!

There's a reason they never made a Charger convertible and that's it........
The guy who designed the second gen Charger,always wanted one built,and built his own as well! Personally I couldn't care less who likes my car or not,when I am riding around with the top down,and cruising with both middle fingers in the air to those that don't like it! Even Chrysler built the topless Charger showcar! I got seven other Chargers with roofs to look at.

I may not be a convertible guy so to speak.. but if your going to have a car with no top why not have a 2nd gen topless charger? I like your car chargervert!
 
Thanks I built two of them,A guy saw my car,and asked me to build him one too.
 
You're not going to make any friends by insulting a forum member's car.

Nice looking car...but those hood
scoops looks like someone fiberglassed
some cardboard boxes. Hideous.
Just my opinion.....
It's only one scoop,and it's a Mopar sixpack scoop,perhaps the best looking and most functional hoodscoop Mopar ever designed!

Sorry, but we're entitled to personal taste.
One mans' visions aren't mine. Had no
no intentions of being insulting. Someone
could easily question my taste, but it's
mine. To each his own.

I don't think that you are sorry or you would have just apologized and left it at that. Instead, you continue on trying to defend yourself.
Yeah, I agree that you have a right to an opinion but claiming that you had no intention of being insulting while calling the scoop "hideous" makes no sense.
You don't just join a forum and start insulting a man's car. You'd be better off stating that you don't like it. Anyone can understand that but to insult it just isn't cool.
Personally, I think that Chargers look best as a hardtop. I respect the work and skill that Pete has to build the car whether I like the final result or not.
I don't like lowriders but I respect the skills to build one.
 
When I built the car,I wanted it to be different than anyone elses car. I took my yellow 70 Charger R/T SE to a local show,and I was in a class of twenty five cars,three of them were identical red 70 Chevelle SS cars with black stripes! I said I never want that to happen to me!
 
I had heard rumors that "B" body posters
were a bit 'tight'. I absolutely had no
intention of insulting anyone. I think
the hood scoop on that car looks
out of place. It may be the best invention
Mopar ever developed, it doesn't, in my
opinion, fit the concept of the vehicle.
If you're gonna chop the top off of an
iconic vehicle, one should be innovative
enough to follow through with the design
and design something that better fits
the overall appearances. And this is only
my opinion.
 
I put this hood together for my friends 70 Charger R/T in 1985,he put a tunnel ram with dual quad fuel injection,so I used the hood on the convertible. It's a steel hood with the scoop installed from underneith.
